USS Gage is Last of the Victory Ships

The last of more than 100 World War II Attack Transports created from the Victory Ship class

U.S.S. Gage Stands Alone

But You Can Recreate Her With Our Free Ship Plans

Toward of end of World War II, military planners requested that the U.S. Maritime Commission construct a new class of attack transport ships. Converting the recently designed Victory class ships into a troop transport, designers created the Haskell class. Of 414 Victory ships built during the war, 117 were configured as attack transports. The U.S.S. Gage is the only remaining ship afloat in its original configuration. We have her plans on our Victory Ship U.S.S. Gage page.
